The regular cast is back in this episode, plus my lovely wife. Enjoy the show, and listen for an awesome discount code at the end of the show — just for you awesome Geekbox listeners — that can be applied toward a purchase at WeLoveFine.com, makers of some of the most awesome nerd t-shirts around. My co-host Ryan Higgins particularly recommends the steampunk-themed shirts!

I have read all of the ASOIAF books, and the first season of GoT is the first book with a few things from book 2 in the last episode. It’s also very accurate to the books, so I imagine season 2 will follow book 2 with a few things from book 3. Due to book three being huge and covering al LOT of important events the rumor is that they will be splitting book 3 over season 3 and 4, assuming it will get picked up that long.

I really hope that he picks up the speed in writing the last two books. I don’t want to wait six years for The Winds of Winter.

Just to clarify, Robert Jordan died of Amyloidosis, and Brandon Sanderson is the author who’s co-written the last 2 books of The Wheel of Time. Compared to ASOIAF, its got 13 (soon to be 14, by the end of this year) books written in about 20 years, against ASOIAF’s 5 books in 15 years. I think George R.R. Martin really is just dragging his writing out, and I don’t see how people could wait that long for books. 2 Books in 10 years is a little ridiculous.
